\nLa iglesia de Dios tiene una comisi\u00f3n doble de valor estrat\u00e9gico: orar a Dios y predicar el evangelio de Jesucristo a los hombres. Con frecuencia nos enfocamos en la obra que realizamos para el Se\u00f1or al contactar a los hombres, pero en realidad el ministerio de oraci\u00f3n de la iglesia es mucho m\u00e1s importante. La situaci\u00f3n actual en la tierra es un llamado a que todos los santos en el recobro del Se\u00f1or se levanten a cumplir la funci\u00f3n que la iglesia hab\u00eda descuidado: cooperar con Dios en oraci\u00f3n para el avance de Sus intereses sobre la tierra. Para ello, estamos pidiendo a los santos en las iglesias en todo el planeta que se inscriban para un turno de quince minutos diarios durante los siguientes 21 d\u00edas \u2014del 1 al 21 de abril, 2020\u2014 para orar en privado o con otros compa\u00f1eros de oraci\u00f3n. Les proporcionaremos algunas sugerencias sobre asuntos por los cuales orar, pero primero debemos entrar en un entendimiento fundamental de la clase de oraci\u00f3n que el Se\u00f1or necesita.
\n
\nToo often we think of prayer as something we do only when we are aware of a particular spiritual or practical need or when we want to accomplish something for the Lord in a way of service, whether personally, with others, or as the church. Prayer for these things is legitimate and even necessary, but the highest and deepest prayers in the New Testament are, first and foremost, for God’s work in the saints and for His move on the earth (Phil. 1:9-11; Eph. 1:15-23; 3:14-21; Acts 4:24-31; Eph. 6:18-20; Col. 4:2-4). Intercessory prayer is a matter of co-laboring with Christ in His heavenly ministry. Such prayer is the pinnacle of the church\u2019s service to Christ. He as the heavenly Intercessor needs His people on the earth to echo His desire. Matthew 18:18 says, \u201cTruly I say to you, Whatever you bind on the earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on the earth shall have been loosed in heaven.\u201d Brother Watchman Nee helped us see from this verse that God in the heavens is waiting for the church to execute His will on the earth through prayer. Something may have been bound or loosed in the heavens, but it is only through the church’s prayer that it can be bound or loosed on the earth.
\n
\nThe book of Revelation shows us God’s divine administration in His consummating of this age. In this book we do not see the churches carrying out so many activities. Rather, we see prayer in relation to God’s governmental move. The saints’ prayers are present in the scene in heaven at Christ’s ascension and the opening of the scroll of God’s economy (Rev. 5:8). God responds to the cry of the martyred saints (6:9-10) with the opening of the sixth seal, which marks the beginning of the great tribulation (vv. 12-17). After Christ as \u201canother Angel\u201d offers the saints’ prayers with Himself as the incense before the throne, fire is cast to the earth followed by supernatural calamities, marking the beginning of God’s judgment of the earth and its inhabitants (8:3-5). In each case the prayers mentioned have dispensational significance and enable God to carry out His administration.
\n
\nEl Se\u00f1or desea poner fin a esta era y establecer Su reino sobre la tierra (Ap. 11:15; 12:10). \u00c9l est\u00e1 a la espera de que un adecuado n\u00famero de creyentes sea preparado como Su Novia y como Su ej\u00e9rcito (Ap. 19:7, 14). Ahora m\u00e1s que nunca deber\u00edamos rogar al Padre seg\u00fan Mateo 6:9-10, pidiendo que Su nombre sea santificado, que Su reino venga y que Su voluntad sea hecha en la tierra. Por un lado, la pandemia que causa estragos en todo el mundo es una advertencia del Se\u00f1or a las naciones. Por otro, es un llamado del Se\u00f1or a Su pueblo para que lleve a cabo la comisi\u00f3n que \u00c9l les hizo de ser uno con el Cristo ascendido en el altar del incienso y de corresponder con Su intercesi\u00f3n.
\n
\nThe Bible shows us that the created race of Adam, the called race of Abraham, and the church as a whole all failed God in cooperating with Him to accomplish His purpose. For this reason, in Revelation 2 and 3 the Lord called for overcomers. We must realize that God’s move depends upon overcomers, and a key characteristic of overcomers is their prayer. The martyred saints crying out beneath the altar in Revelation 6 become the overcoming man-child in chapter 12, and when the man-child is caught up to heaven, Satan is cast down (12:5, 9). One aspect of the Lord’s recovery today is to produce overcomers who will fully cooperate with the Lord so that His purpose can be fulfilled and He can return. We must be those overcomers who are praying at the incense altar in the house of God to correspond with Christ, our heavenly High Priest, and to cooperate with God by praying on the earth what is out from His throne.
\n
\nThe saints in the churches in the Lord’s recovery should all aspire to be overcomers. However, we must realize that such spiritual warriors are not produced overnight. We need to build up our praying and fighting capacity. We believe that the unprecedented restriction many of us find ourselves under is sovereign of the Lord to grant us the opportunity to recover and uplift both our personal and corporate prayer life. If you read the New Testament carefully, you will realize that the apostle Paul’s ability to minister from prison was quite limited, but he prayed much. Similarly, Brother Nee carried out his public ministry for thirty years, but while he was in prison during the last twenty years of his life, he could minister only in a limited way to those around him. Yet during that time of confinement, he was able to join with the interceding Christ in a hidden ministry of prayer.
\n
\nWe are accustomed to viewing all the provisions of God, the bountiful supply of the Spirit, and the riches that we have received from this ministry as the spiritual supply for our growth in life for the building up of the church. This is not wrong, but we should realize that all these things are also to strengthen us to carry out the church’s paramount ministry of prayer. We need to read the Bible, know the anointing, and be nourished by the ministry of the age so that we can know how to pray according to God’s will and not our own. We all want to have the Lord’s presence, but we should realize that the Lord’s promise to be with us when we gather together in His name is in the context of two or three offering binding and loosing prayer in harmony with one another and with God\u2019s will (Matt. 18:18-20).
\n
\nFinalmente, a medida que nos unimos al Se\u00f1or en oraci\u00f3n, necesitamos recordar la oraci\u00f3n de Salom\u00f3n en 1 Reyes 8:48, en la cual \u00e9l habl\u00f3 de que el pueblo de Dios orara a Dios vueltos hacia la tierra santa, que tipifica a Cristo como porci\u00f3n que Dios asign\u00f3 a Su pueblo; vueltos hacia la ciudad santa, que representa el reino de Dios en Cristo; y vueltos hacia el templo santo, que representa la casa de Dios, la iglesia, en la tierra. Esto indica que Dios escuchar\u00e1 nuestras oraciones cuando oremos a Dios con la mirada puesta en Cristo, el reino de Dios y la casa de Dios, todo lo cual constituye la meta de la econom\u00eda eterna de Dios. Esto quiere decir que no importa por qui\u00e9n oremos, nuestras oraciones siempre deben tener como objetivo los intereses de Dios en la tierra, esto es, Cristo y la iglesia, para el cumplimiento de la econom\u00eda de Dios.
\n
\nHermanos y hermanas, necesitamos avanzar. Deber\u00edamos deliberadamente tomar la decisi\u00f3n en estos d\u00edas de edificar este ministerio de oraci\u00f3n, tanto personalmente como unos con otros. Todas nuestras carencias, sean individuales o corporativas, se originan en la falta de oraci\u00f3n. Actualmente, podr\u00edamos no poder orar muy fuertemente ni por mucho tiempo, pero las restricciones que ahora enfrentamos nos dan una v\u00eda a trav\u00e9s de la cual podemos edificar nuestra capacidad para orar si perseveramos. Adem\u00e1s, aunque quiz\u00e1s estemos aislados f\u00edsicamente, el Se\u00f1or nos ha dado \u2014mediante la tecnolog\u00eda moderna\u2014 una manera en que podemos seguir orando juntos. Para aprovechar esta oportunidad necesitamos presupuestar nuestro tiempo y ejercitarnos en orar con regularidad.
\n
\nThe saints in the churches in the Lord’s recovery have never been so ready to enter into such prayer. Today, more than ever, there is a strong one accord and rich blending among the co-workers and the churches on the earth. We can truly pray as one Body, even as one new man, joined to Christ, our ascended Head. Together let us put on the whole armor of God to stand against the rulers and authorities of darkness and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Let us continue steadfastly to pray at every time and in every place for God\u2019s will to be done on the earth.
\n
\nPor tanto, para atender la necesidad propia de esta coyuntura crucial, hacemos un llamado a todos los santos en el recobro del Se\u00f1or en todos los continentes, naciones y localidades a que participen de este ministerio de oraci\u00f3n velando con todo denuedo. Espec\u00edficamente, esperamos que muchos participen en esta oraci\u00f3n a nivel mundial y por tiempo ininterrumpido como centinelas puestos sobre los muros de Jerusal\u00e9n (Is. 62:6) por estos 21 d\u00edas y \u00a1hasta que en toda la tierra nuestro Se\u00f1or sea alabado!
\n
\nY de la mano del \u00c1ngel subi\u00f3 a la presencia de Dios el humo del incienso con las oraciones de los santos. Y el \u00c1ngel tom\u00f3 el incensario, y lo llen\u00f3 del fuego del altar, y lo arroj\u00f3 a la tierra;\ny hubo truenos, y voces, y rel\u00e1mpagos, y un terremoto. \u2014Ap. 8:4-5<\/em>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
